Animal Cruelty or Just Plain Stupidity?

Once again an instant of animal cruelty has become the most important news story on the planet. Some lady put duck tape on her dog’s snoot to shut him up… took a picture of it and posted it on social media and the rest is history. Of course the picture went viral as did the backlash towards the dog’s owner. Due to the numerous calls to the police they felt obligated to expend resources to track down the woman and have now brought animal cruelty charges against her despite the admission by the woman that the duck tape was only on the dog for one minute. Is this what society has become? We react to anything on social media as…

Donald Trump

I’m not sure when it is going to happen… I can only hope that it does. Donald Trump finally says something or does something that will awaken the American people so they too can see the man for the big blow heart that he is. He thinks nothing about calling others idiots, stupid, morons, pathological, ect. ect ect. He’s making grandiose policy statements that our current economic situation will never support. He may be a brilliant businessman… lord knows he frequently tells us so, but you can be the most effective manager on the planet, but if you don’t have the money to backup your ideas those ideas are going no where. Besides the fact that we could never come…

3rd GOP Presidential Debate

We need leadership in Washington… Blah Blah Blah. I’ll be that leader… Blah Blah Blah. I can get the job done… Blah Blah Blah. I have a plan… Blah Blah Blah. I’ve done this that and the other thing… Blah Blah Blah. What an absolute waste of everyone’s time. What’s worse is there were moments when I thought I was listening to a Democrat debate. There needs to be income equality… Blah Blah Blah. We need to raise the minimum wage… Blah Blah Blah. The richest American’s don’t pay enough tax… Blah Blah Blah. What is wrong with Washington is painfully obvious and the minions on stage last night just exemplified the problem.

US House Speaker

WTF! Kevin McCarthy drops out of the race to be elected the next US House Speaker and the whole process goes through a meltdown? Oh my Oh my… what shall we do? How about follow the protocol and get the job done. How pathetic are you when you can’t even conduct a simple election amongst yourselves to choose a successor for the retiring Speaker of the House. When McCarthy bowed out there were two other names in contention… what was so wrong with choosing from those two? Instead the current Republican leadership went into panic mode apparently trying to get someone with right set of qualifications to step up to the plate. Mean while the Democrats are having a field…

Umpqua Comm College Mass Shooting

Let me start by saying I feel so very sorry for the parents of the 9 students killed yesterday at Umpqua Community Collage. They did nothing wrong and shouldn’t have to be going through the grief of loosing a child. Their children did nothing wrong, they just happened to be in the line of site at the very moment that this particular nut case decided to snap. As horrific as this tragedy is, I’m afraid that the worse is yet to come. Obama has already made his typical stump speech about how we need more gun control and better ways to sort out and identify the mentally ill as a method to stop this kind of mass killings. His loyal…

Pope Sweeps Philly

The Pope made a stop in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, where he presided over mass to an estimated 1 million people. The city felt the need to do a sweep before the event and it was necessary to do a massive sweep after the event. Seems for security reasons the homeless that populated the event location were told to leave and anything that was left behind would be thrown away… What compassion seeing the main event was a man who is telling people everywhere that they should be working to eliminate homelessness. After the event was over and the crowds had all gone home what was left was a huge mess. Trash everywhere that needed to be cleaned up. Is…

Papal Visit with Congress

So the Pope addressed a joint session of Congress today and as expected brought up the issue of immigration… especially how the United States should have compassion and leniency towards the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants coming into this country every year from Mexico and Latin America. He also touched on the idea that with all of the worlds great resources and wealth that there is no excuse for anyone on planet Earth to be homeless. That’s where it gets interesting to me… that very few people are willing to call the man out as a hypocrite. He resides over what is called Vatican City, which is a country all on its own and has the strictest immigration and citizenship…

E-Mail Hillary on this One

The person who set up Hillary Clinton’s private email server is telling the press that he is going to plead the fifth while being asked questions from the congressional panel looking into the matter… Hillary is saying that she has been encouraging those working for her at the time to cooperate fully with the authorities, which is most likely the only true statement that has come out of her mouth about the email situation because she needs a patsy to take the fall for her. Someone to throw themselves on that pit of sharp spears so she can put all this behind her and get on with her trek toward what she thinks is her birthright to become the first…

2016 Presidential Campaign Thoughts…

Apparently Donald Trump tweeted today “The bimbo is back” in reference to Megan Kelly’s return to the air after taking time off for a vacation. I’m sure that a lot of Trump’s supporters like him because he says what is on his mind. However, when those comments are quite often on the crude and abusive side of the fence you have got to ask yourself… is this the man you want living in the White House? Joe Biden is still on the fence about throwing his hat in the ring for the Democratic presidential nomination. The media is making big news out of Obama’s blessing that was apparently given to Biden during their weekly lunch on Monday. I’d like to…

Donald Trump

Donald Trump… I don’t know why everyone is so worried about him running for the Republican presidential nomination. All we have to do is let him keep running his big mouth and sooner rather than later he is going to implode. His arrogant poppas elitist attitude is going to wear on people as Trump shows is distain for the common citizen. What does worry me about Trump is this talk about running as an independent candidate if he goes no where with the Republican nomination. He should be smart enough to realize that such a move would almost assure that the Democratic nominee would easily win the election. That’s why Bill Clinton won in 1992. Heaven help us if history…
